Fleetwood Town vs Doncaster Rovers Predictions

• Fleetwood have won 2 of their last 3 matches against Doncaster.
• Fleetwood have only lost 1 of their 14 home games in League One.
• Doncaster have dropped points in 7 of their 10 away games in League One.
• 57% of Fleetwood’s home games have produced under 2.5 goals.

The hosts have lost just once in their own backyard

Fleetwood were held to a draw for the third successive league game when they played host to Coventry in midweek, while Doncaster earned a point from their trip to Sunderland last time out. These two clubs are both on 38pts for the campaign and sit-in mid-table with a decent chance of challenging for the playoff places and a win on Saturday could see either club move up into 7th spot.

The head to head record between the two clubs is level, with each winning, losing, and drawing three times, but Fleetwood have won two of their duos’ last three encounters and look strong at home this season. The hosts have won seven, drawn six, and only lost one game at home in league One while Doncaster have only managed to win three of their ten away games, so you can see why we have backed Fleetwood with a double chance bet this weekend.

Fleetwood average 1.93 points per home game which is above the league average of 1.66 points and suggests they are in with an excellent chance of avoiding defeat on Saturday, while Doncaster average 1.30 points per away game and could hold out for a point as they have drawn 40% of their games on the road.

Doncaster have drawn 40% of their away games

The hosts could do with scoring more goals at home as they currently average 1.43 per home game which is below the league average of 1.50 and with Doncaster conceding an average of 0.90 goals per away game, we believe the most likely final scoreline is a 1-0 win in favour of the hosts. Only 43% of Fleetwood’s home games have produced over 2.5 goals as have just 40% of Doncaster’s away games, which backs up our prediction for a low-scoring affair on Saturday.

Fleetwood have kept clean sheets in 29% of their home matches so far and Doncaster have failed to score in 40% of their away games, adding further weight to our prediction for a win-to-nil this weekend. Fleetwood have only failed to score in 21% of their home games and will be confident of scoring at least once against a Doncaster side that have lost 20% of their away games without scoring. A majority of Fleetwood’s wins this season (6) have been obtained with a 1-goal margin, while a majority of Doncaster’s defeats (6) have also had a 1-goal margin.

We’re confident that a double chance bet on Fleetwood is the best way to bet on Saturday’s clash and we have predicted a final scoreline of 1-0. The hosts have been strong at home this season and their guests have just three wins on the road. Both teams have played to a very similar standard so far this season, so we are expecting a tight and tense ninety minutes on Saturday.
